I LOVE WATER.

Wanna go swimming


I do.

Can you swim and drink is that legal

[loveedition]

Absolutely not. DRINK water. Try drinking it.

[spacialeyes]

No one offered water

OH

OH it says it’s made with water. I’m good.

[loveedition]

I see.

Hey, where are you right now? Are you still at your shrine?

[spacialeyes]

y


I wanna see Inaba!

Let’s call her.

[loveedition]

Perfect!

Don't you dare call her until I get there.

-> audio

[spacialeyes]

[not even two second later:]

INABA!

It’s Laundry!

Auu- wait.

[…]

… Me!

[loveedition]

[ oh my god. he failed step one. Ryoko might be picking up the pace now, after announcing: ]

Hi, Laundry.

I'm going to kick your ass.

[ Any Inaba impersonations may be strictly coincidental. ]

[spacialeyes]

Oooh you sound like Ryoko, Inaba!

You must like her lots… I like Ryoko too. Let’s call Ryoko!

[loveedition]

Put the phone down!

[ Weird how he can hear that close by, and through the phone? ]

[spacialeyes]

Okayyyy

[and he drops the phone.

Un/fortunately, Drunk Yuuto is using his power. So his phone starts to float around with the sake bottles, harmless Shrine offerings, and sakura blossoms that his power has collected.]

I did as I was told! Good Yuuto.

[loveedition]

[ And the person on the phone hangs up! And from the distance... ]

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutoooooooo!!!!!!!

[ AND SUDDENLY, OUT OF THE BLUE, here's Ryoko out of breath and holding out a damn bottle of water. ]

H-Here! This... this is... an offering...!

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto’s tail begins wagging a storm when he sees Ryoko. He takes two hops closer and accepts the bottle, though he’s trying to look at Ryoko politely.

For a moment, he seems able to appear calm and professional.]

I’ll treasure it forever. What is your request?

[He is going to bite the bottle without opening the lid

He will not be stopped except by force.]

[loveedition]

[ She can do force. Which is basically carefully trying to lead the bottle away from his mouth before pulling at his cheeks. ]

My request's for you to think before you start getting drunk!

[ THIS WAS NOT AS PLANNED ]

[dereban]

[ --aaaaand Inaba's rushing over at some point, she's brought some stuff: specifically a burger in a bag, ibuprofen and a water bottle. ]

Please tell me I'm not too late to stop any further stupidity.

[spacialeyes]

[There is a brief moment where Yuuto seems sober while Ryoko pulls at his cheeks: He pouts in confusion and mumbles about the water…

And then he sees Inaba. All illusion that he has fine disappears again; all of the petals and empty sake bottles begin floating upward too.]

Inaba is here! Inabaaaa! Hm? [And he pauses to give Ryoko’s request more consideration.] Fuuuu~ I’m not drunk~! I’m drinking!

[loveedition]

[ She blankly looks at Inaba momentarily-- how the hell did he manage to call her anyway?! No, it might've been before that. At least the water's out of his mouth?

She lets go of his face, but immediately swings around to capture his arms. ]

By all means. Your turn.

[dereban]

For fuck's sake-- this is karma, isn't it.

[ She says this bluntly with a frown before shoving the bag towards Yuuto and subsequently putting a hand on his shoulder to hope that her nullification at least stops.

Some things. ]

I brought you the present of a burger and ibuprofen.

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto is still too giddy to find any of this worrisome. He might even have squealed a bit when Ryoko caught his arms, like this is a game in his head. Probably better to have him happy than crying on the floor though.

He giggles and clumsily takes the bag with his one free arm. His tail goes from wiggling to still and the petals drop. So do the sake bottles, but they don't break either. Yuuto smiles childishly at Inaba.]

Genorisinaba! [never try that again.

Back to his kami façade;] Thank you. I will treasure them forever. What is your request? I'm a good kami. I'll make you happyyy~!

[loveedition]

[ oh my god. Well, she's lucky at least that he's not weepy, but whatever the hell that sound he just made was continues to have her worried. Which is why she's not letting go of the other arm, even as Inaba takes the assist. ]

What do we do with this guy?

[dereban]

. . . U-huh.

[ Totally unconvinced by the "I'll make you happy" part. ]

We haul his ass over to Satou, even if it means he's kicking and screaming.

[spacialeyes]

WAITY WAIT. [re: the kicking and screaming!

Well, actually. It's just pouting and looking concerned.]

I can't take shrine wequests if I'mma at the wrong shrine. Bad kami, baad!

I'm fine to stay here- I feel great- I'm warm and floaty.

[loveedition]

[ ........ ]

No, that's the problem here.

[ Well, luckily, she has a backup plan now. ]

Oh, Spacetime Kami. Our humble request of you is to let us take you to your mother so that you can sober up. We pray you grant our wish before Inaba-san beats you up.

[ There, nice and professional. ]

[dereban]

I mean, if he wants to get beat up I'm sure not gonna stop him from saying so.

[ Inaba Himeko is clearly the 'bad cop' of this situation. Awful. ]

[spacialeyes]

What 'mother?' [There's a rare instance of sincere bitterness in his tone. Fortunately Yuuto's drunkenness still leans to happy and stupid, so he recovers with a pout:]

I don't wanna be beat up by Inaba... Boo. [He's trying so hard to think! If this was math then it'd be easy! Instead it's self preservation and he's not good in normal circumstances.]

... Will Ryoko and Inaba really be happy?
